Vaguely recall that it’s possilbe to forward a domain user’s email to an external address… but can’t remember the detail.

Trying to automatically forward email sent to user@sbsdomain.com on Exchange 2003 to user’sotheremail@someisp.com.

Would appreciate any help.

much thanx, Joem

Joem,

Create a “Contact” in Active Directory.Assign it an SMTP address of UsersOtherEmail@SomeISP.com.

Then go into the Exchange General tab of the AD user’s properties.

Select “Delivery Options” and configure the account to forward messages to the newly-created Contact.[Note that it may take some time for Recipient Update Service to make the Contact’s address visible unless you force the change manually.]

You’ll have the option to save a local copy if you want.And finally, you can then hide the Contact from the Global Address Book so that other users don’t see it in their address lists.[Do that from the Exchange Advanced tab of the Contact’s properties.]
